So I got tagged by the Semi-Slacker Mom to tell six unknown things about me. Hmm.... I really had to think on this one. Here goes...1. When I was little I had an imaginary friend named Egret. Who knows. Apparently we had a painting of egrets above the fireplace. I still don't consider myself very creative.2. I also played with dead, frozen doves like they were baby dolls -- with a paper towel for a blanket. I had one in the freezer at mine and my grandparents' houses.3. I have traveled in 5 of 7 continents. Asia is my next hopeful stop. I don't think I'll make Antarctica. FYI -- in Europe, there are only 5 continents! They just skip Australia and lump us together with South America. Why not lump themselves with Asia, I wonder? Seems more logical to me -- there is way more land connecting the two.4.I have REALLY bad eyesight: -7.5 and -8.5 for those of you who wear contacts. Without contacts/glasses, it's like opening my eyes under water and trying to see, so I don't venture off very far without them! Every morning, our lab Gus doesn't MOVE, not even when Brad gets up, until he hears me pick my glasses up off of the bedside table. That's his cue that it's time to get up.5. When I'm tired, I can fall asleep in less than two minutes. My husband calls it "Janning out," because my mom does it too. I can get in bed, start a movie, and be asleep before the beginning credits are finished -- every time. He says that that means I have to get up with the baby, since I can go right back to sleep. Hmmm.6. For our first date, I asked my husband to go to a Georgia Tech basketball game to which I got the tickets for Christmas from my previous boyfriend.

Child of God, wife of a farmer, mom to a miracle, RN; picture taker, animal lover, Spanish speaker, world traveler, former high school teacher. I love food, knitting, blogging, and living in a small town. I write about a little of all of the above!

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
